Canna Lilies FAQ
How to Care for a Canna Lily?
Canna lilies thrive with a care routine that includes exposure to full sun for optimal growth and vibrancy. While they can tolerate partial sun, the best results are achieved in full sun. Adequate watering is crucial, with the soil kept consistently moist but not waterlogged to prevent rot. Regular watering, especially in warmer climates, supports their development. Canna lilies are known for their stunning flowers, and providing them with well-draining soil, occasional fertilization, and protection from extreme weather conditions contributes to a healthy and flourishing plant.
Are Canna Lilies Perennials?
Canna lilies are indeed perennials, returning year after year when provided with the right care and grown in zones 7 to 10. They showcase their vibrant foliage and stunning flowers during the growing season, typically from late spring to early fall. As perennials, canna lilies have the potential to establish themselves as a long-lasting and colorful addition to gardens, with their rhizomes surviving the winter to produce new growth in subsequent seasons.
Are Canna Lilies Poisonous to Dogs?
Canna lilies are indeed considered non-toxic and generally safe for dogs. These plants are pet-friendly, and while ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in some cases, they are not known to be severely toxic to dogs. However, it’s always a good practice to monitor pets around plants and contact a veterinarian if any unusual symptoms or concerns arise.

We care. When you order from Tropical Plants of Florida, your order is not carelessly thrown in a box. First your plant is hand picked from our field by our experts. Then, it is prepped for shipping where we carefully wrap the base to ensure minimum soil spillage while your plant travels to you. After this a recycled paper sleeve is placed around your plant. If your plant is traveling to a colder climate, it gets extra special attention with a recycled blue jean plant-blanket for the ride.

Since I already wrote a review about the other Canna I purchased I will write about the amazing tropical plant fertilizer that I purchased with the Canna! The fertilizer is amazing.. it’s the perfect fertilizer for tropical plants like hibiscus and bougainvillea bushes! I recently purchased a bougainvillea elsewhere and it was dying until I sprinkled some of this amazing fertilizer on it! A little goes a long way and it is slow release pellets that last for three months. Thank you! And the plant is gorgeous too! Amazing store!
Absolutely stunning full size Canna with blooms already open and ready to open! Even nicer than the photos, thank you!! Love it!
